    VERA FILES FACT CHECK: Report ni Marcos sa SONA tungkol sa 6.4% GDP growth rate nangangailangan ng konteksto

    By VERA Files  |  Jul 26, 2023 2:27 PM

    Iniulat ni Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) national statistician Claire Dennis Mapa noong Mayo 11 na ang 6.4% GDP growth sa unang quarter ng 2023 ay “ang pinakamababang paglago na nairehistro pagkatapos ng pitong quarters nang magsimulang makabangon ang bansa mula sa pandemic sa ikalawang quarter ng 2021.”

    VERA FILES FACT CHECK: Data contradict Marcos’ claim that PH economy is ‘fastest growing’ in the world

    By VERA Files  |  Jun 06, 2023 12:15 PM

    Speaking before his supporters in Cebu City last May 27, President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. boasted that the Philippines is the “fastest growing country in the world,” attributing this to the right direction his administration has taken to fulfill his campaign promises. This is at least the second time, by VERA Files Fact Check’s count, that Marcos made an inaccurate claim about the Philippines’ economic standing.

    VERA FILES FACT CHECK: Pahayag ni Marcos sa bumababang utang ng gobyerno nakaliligaw

    By VERA Files  |  Mar 17, 2023 2:27 PM

    Ang datos ay tumutukoy lamang sa mga kabuuang utang o bagong utang na hiniram ng gobyerno. Bagama’t tama na bumaba ang mga ito, sinabi ng Freedom from Debt Coalition na tumaas pa rin ng 13.71% o P1.67 bilyon ang natitira o kabuuang utang ng pambansang pamahalaan — mula P12.1 trilyon noong 2021 hanggang P13.8 trilyon noong 2022 — dahil ang gobyerno ay nanghihiram ng higit sa binabayaran nito.

    VERA FILES FACT CHECK: Pahayag ni Salceda na ang Pilipinas ay may ‘isa sa pinakamababang’ inflation rate sa mundo kulang nang konteksto

    By VERA Files  |  Mar 13, 2023 2:28 PM

    Ipinahayag kamakailan ni Albay Rep. Joey Salceda na ang inflation rate ng Pilipinas ay “isa sa pinakamababa pa rin sa mundo,” at sinabing ito ay malamang na “bunga ng diskarte” ng economic managers ng bansa. Ito ay nangangailangan ng konteksto.

    Sa kanyang arrival statement sa Maynila mula sa Davos, Switzerland noong Enero 21, sinabi ni Pangulong Ferdinand Marcos Jr. na ang Pilipinas ay “nangunguna [sa] economic recovery” hindi lamang sa rehiyon ng Asia-Pacific kundi maging sa mundo. Ito ay hindi totoo.
